The post above conclusively proves that you're either a) the biggest troll the Outpost has seen since the Halcyon Georgie Rockwood days or b)You actually believe about 50 posts on a blog that has little or no relationship to Roxette will help them sell even one more unit of product. This makes you so deluded that a whole truck full of haloperidol wouldn't help you clinically.

In either event, I'm done here. Enjoy your status as resident Urkel of the Outpost.

[quote]so? And "Who Let the Dogs out" was a huge hit in US.... what's your point? [/quote]


Genius. Start argument bragging about chart position. Quickly shoot down own argument by pointing out how ridiculous charts are.

When did we start discussing September? I can't even follow the thread anymore. I love September. She had some of the best electro pop dance music of the past decade that was ignored here in the U.S.

News Flash: [b]API is now reporting that Roxette has just hit #1 on the Iraq music charts! Strangely, it wasn't their new music that became popular but the song, "You Got The Look", which has just now finally made it's way to the region. The single beat out hairy men belching and camel flatulence to take the top spot.

Roxette's manager, Bjorn Svelsonn said, "I'm proud of them for finally breaking though. And at this rate, in another 25 years we may even have enough material for a greatest hits album. Now if we could just crack the Top 40 in Luxembourg and Micronesia!"

Roxette will open the Middle Eastern stint of their "Insurgency" tour in June at Fred's Kabob Shack in downtown Kabul. Opening for the band will be local musical legends Men Without Legs with a special guest appearance by the IEDs.

From there, the band will travel to the US in the fall to perform for a grand opening of the newest Bob's Discount Furniture outlet.[/b]

.. besides; the guy from Roxette looks like he'd smell like cooked lamb fat and the chick looks like an ugly man.

I can't commit to that shit. I just can't.

you must be talking about some other 80's pop/new wave act...Roxette is still hitting the charts with new material in developed Western Europe...but considering how catchy their tunes are I bet they have fans in many other parts of the world...

speaking about other 80's new wave/pop artists, I bet most 80's artists would give an arm and a leg to be in the pop charts again with brand new material.....
unfortunately artists like Flock of Seagulls, Howard Jones, Motels, Loverboy and Tiffany are relegated to rehashing their one big hit on cheesy reality shows like Hit Me Baby One More Time, without anything new, in fact I think as a second song most sang covers of other artists, talk about creativity slump....[;)]

Can we possibly have the title of this thread renamed to "I want to Smack Roxette"?

[b]Newflash- After a year topping the charts in Tazmania, Somalia and Kurdistan, Roxette has announced they will be teaming up with Tears For Fears and the reunited Thompson Twins for 2012's blockbuster, "I Want To Smack Myself For Going" Tour.

Scheduled opening acts are "Wasted Money", "Mass Regret" and "No Accounting For Taste". Word has it that talks are underway for special guest appearances by David Hasslehoff, Toya and Silly Vanilli (Milli Vanilli cover band).

On their upcoming performances at venues like Elks Lodges, YMCAs and strip malls across the USA, Roxette manager Douche McBag said, "This gives the average fan a chance to get closer to the artist in a more intimate setting, oops I think my pager just went off". [/b]
